Karen Cole Martion as Dr. Melissa Harvey. Not enough GOOD can be said about this person. She is truly a delight, and I'm proud to call her my friend. Karen has always been there to help and assist, whether it be picking up the slate, being the "Mamma" on the set, or listening to me rant for an hour on the phone about money.
I met Karen in a show called Cactus Flower here in town. I'm not sure if she remembers this, but she and I actually read together at the audition! She was always kind and endearing, even though some circumstances during the show proved to be trying (she knows what I'm talking about)!
I remember having the most costume changes out of the cast, and whenever I was in the makeshift dressing room, she'd come back and make sure I was gravy. Her sweet personality stuck with me, as did her two adorable, very talented twin boys (who also make cameos in our film), Gavin and Keegan.
This photo of her was taken early on in the filming process. In the driver's seat is her husband, Rob. She wasn't in this scene, but she was kind enough to come and help out with the large group of background actors.
While writing the script, I had her in mind from the beginning to play Dr. Harvey. Even though Karen is polar opposite of Harvey, she pulled it off very well! I've always been a good judge of character (by my own admission), and I can safely say that there is nothing fake about Karen. She's genuine. She has a pure heart. She's caring and lovely, and I love having her around!
